2 cents:

A WONDERFUL example of the so-called “culturally elite”.
Rowling, wise-up, you are ONLY an author of FICTION. So plz shut up or when you screw up, be a good example of a human being to CHILDREN AND ADULTS and apologize to all those you wronged which would include PRESIDENT TRUMP.

CNN: Trump Won Because People Were Tired of Cultural Elites

2 cents:

“People like us…”
Arrogance and ignorance of CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, according to him, he and the “Cultural Elites” are so much more intelligent and wiser than the people who voted for President Trump. Not my words, HIS by implication of what he said in the report.

MSM etc. are culturally elite over me, you and the rest of the people who voted for President Trump. You self-righteous fool!

Yes we did FINALLY fight back, because…

  • the Establishment is wrong.
  • MSM is wrong.
  • TPTB are wrong.

 

PRESIDENT Trump Should End The Bailout of Congress’s Health Care

The taxpayer health care bailout for members of Congress is very real, worth about $12,000 per year for each, and utterly indefensible.

2 cents: PRESIDENT President should do the following:
1. let O-Care completely implode
2. end the bailout to Congress – and not allow such an action to occur in the new healthcare plan

News not getting widely reported

USA Today reports on the Trump administration’s efforts to expand veterans’ access to telehealth services around the country, especially in rural areas, via mobile phones or computers, which is “intended to improve medical care especially for those needing mental health and suicide prevention services.”

Jim Geraghty in the National Review writes of some “easily-overlooked good news” in that two bills aiming to help veterans are heading to the President’s desk for signature. One that will fund Veterans Choice to seek the care they prefer, and another which is a series of reforms to veterans’ education benefits.

Further evidence that Obamacare is imploding: Axios reports that Molina Healthcare is pulling out of the Obamacare exchanges in Utah and Wisconsin, while “in the areas where Molina is staying, the insurer will hike premiums for its ACA plans by 55% on average.” And the Washington Examiner reports on how Aetna will “completely withdraw from the Obamacare exchanges in 2018, after seeing its profits soar from reducing its participation this year.”

In positive economic news, NPR reports that “the Dow Jones industrial average finished above 22,000 for the first time,” saying the stock market index is “now up 11 percent for the year and more than 20 percent since President Trump’s election in November.”

Rediscovering Americanism: and the tyranny of progressivism

Six Minute Interview w Mark Levin

Amazon book link

I read Levin’s book Rediscovering Americanism. I am in the process of re-reading it. It is a scholarly work with fair even-handed analysis. The first half of the book is some tough reading (at least to me) because it is delving into the written words of Rousseau, Hegel, Marx etc. Levin then provides a history of progressivism which IMO is a nomenclature which couches the philosophy and goals of these individuals and their followers, in a term that is deceptive implying something good. I know he didn’t coin the phrase and that he is actually using their vocabulary and then providing the information, history of what it actually is. His final analysis and conclusion are correct IMO. Rediscovering Americanism… is a great work and one that everyone should read.
